Secretary Terminated for Violating Time and Attendance Policy

An Amtrak secretary based in Pennsylvania violated company policies by regularly logging into work remotely, then not showing up to her worksite or arriving late, leaving early, or both. Our investigation found that the employee logged in remotely 30 times on 18 days during a one-month period, when her supervisor only approved her to work remotely on only four of the 18 days. Therefore, the employee was absent from her worksite without her supervisor’s knowledge or approval on 22 of 30 instances. She was terminated on March 12, 2024, after her corporate hearing. The former employee is not eligible for rehire.
